TL;DR

Deny rules for reading files were only checked against the raw input path, not against resolved or real paths. This meant attackers could use relative paths (with ..) or symlinks to access files that should have been blocked. Both the lack of resolved path checks and missing symlink resolution made path traversal possible.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.

Background info

context-mode is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions 1.0.0 - 1.0.89.
